| Dear Friend, As the Community Programs Manager, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible partnerships that have enriched and strengthened our ties within the San Diego community. Working hand in hand with partners like Wheelchair Dancers Organization, the San Diego Unified School District, NTC Foundation, Creative Performing Media Arts School, and Foster Elementary, we've been able to make meaningful strides that foster our values of inclusivity, education, and empowerment for youth. Each partnership has brought unique opportunities for growth and enrichment and together, we've broken down barriers and inspired minds. We extend our heartfelt thanks to each individual and organization that has contributed to the success of our outreach programs. Your support and commitment have been instrumental in driving our mission forward, and we look forward to continuing this journey together, making a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
With Gratitude,   Nicole Diaz-Pellot, Community Programs Manager |
